American Truck Factory - Where Icons are Made: • American Truck Factory...
Mega Diesel Engine made in Germany. MTU (Engine and Turbine Union Friedrichshafen) is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their propulsion systems and large diesel engines, for example, neatly heat ships, heavy and military vehicles or railways. Not infrequently bring such drives namely achievements of up to 12,000 hp. The mega diesel engines are manufactured in the idyllic Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, but the engines "Made in Germany" have long been used worldwide.

Stop using the word "steel" - it is iron and when treated a magnesium addition it becomes Nodular, ductle or Spheroidal Iron (SG Iron). Also stop using the word "elastic" it is ductile and the casting has "annealed" itself in the mould to give a ferritic micro - structure. Sorry to be so pickie but accuracy is important when describing a process.
